the crust of the earth is swithching over each other
These are known as seismic waves.
A Tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake.
S waves, or Secondary waves, are earthquake waves during an earthquake. They crash after P waves ( Primary waves) and are less stronger than surface waves
p waves
s waves
Earthquake generated waves are called seismic waves. These are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers. Their velocity depends on the elasticity and density of the medium that they travel through.
These are known as seismic waves.
Seismic waves are the type of waves generated by an earthquake. These waves travel through the Earth and are responsible for the shaking and ground motion associated with earthquakes. There are different types of seismic waves, including P-waves, S-waves, and surface waves.
A tsunami.
Seismic waves are generated during an earthquake when there is a sudden release of energy from the Earth's crust due to the movement of tectonic plates. This movement creates vibrations that travel through the Earth as seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
Sound waves are generated by vibrations in air or a medium and travel in all directions from the source, whereas earthquake waves are generated by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust and travel through the Earth. Sound waves are longitudinal waves that can travel through gases, liquids, and solids, while earthquake waves consist of P-waves (compressional waves) and S-waves (shear waves) that travel at different speeds and have different effects on the Earth's surface.
The point under the surface where earthquake waves are generated is called the focus or hypocenter. This is where the energy is released that generates seismic waves that then move outward in all directions through the Earth's crust.
Seismic waves are the vibration generated by an earthquake, explosion, or similar phenomenon and propagated within the Earth or along its surface.
The Thailand tsunami in 2004 was generated by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia. The earthquake caused a rupture in the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water which then produced the tsunami waves that hit Thailand and other countries in the region.
No. Seismic waves travel through rock and sediment.Sea waves (tsunamis) are not generated by earthquake vibrations, but by the displacement of ocean water, which leads to the formation of waves when the crest reaches shallower water.
A seismograph records earthquake waves.the correct answer is a seismometer a seismograph is the graph to show the recordings
Seismometers measure ground movement during an earthquake. These instruments detect and record the vibrations caused by the seismic waves generated by the earthquake.
